What is the climate like?

  • Although Costa Rica is warm and dry, Costa Rica is incredibly rainy so be sure to bring clothing items that are accustomed for the warm weather and rain. A poncho or rain coat is recommended.

Should I get medical/travel insurance?

  • Medical insurance is recommended when traveling to Costa Rica but not required. You can find travel insurance here.

Is tipping customary?

  • Take note that although all tourism workers are paid a fixed salary, tips are used as their main income. It is considerate to tip your tourism workers although it is not required. Tourism workers should only be tipped if exceptional service is provided. Tipping is appreciated in the tourism industry. While not mandatory, a tip of 10-15% in restaurants and for guides is customary for good service.

What is the currency used?

  • The legal currency in Costa Rica is the Costa Rican Colón (CRC). 1 US dollar is approximately equal to 540.932 CRC, but exchange rates can fluctuate.

What is transportation like?

  • Public buses are a popular and affordable way to travel around the country. Renting a car is also an option for more flexibility, but be prepared for varying road conditions.

Is Costa Rica safe?

  • Costa Rica is generally safe for travelers. However, it's wise to take standard precautions, such as avoiding displaying valuables and using hotel safes.

What is the wildlife like?

  • Costa Rica is rich in biodiversity. If you're hiking or exploring nature, respect wildlife by keeping a safe distance and not feeding animals.

Travel Insurance

Costa Rica

What is the difference between the rain forest and the cloud forest?

The main difference is the amount of rain. It doesn't rain as much in the cloud forest as it does in the rain forest. The species of flora and fauna found in each may also differ.

How many bird species live in Costa Rica?

Approximately 903 species.

Is the water drinkable in Costa Rica?

Although the water is safe we do recommend drinking bottled water.

What are the identification and entry requirements for Costa Rica?

To enter Costa Rica, you’ll need a valid passport and proof of onward travel, such as a return plane or bus ticket. Travelers from countries like the United States, Canada, and most European nations can typically enter without a visa and are usually granted a stay of up to 90 days upon arrival.

What is the weather like in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica has a tropical climate due to its location near the equator. The country features a variety of microclimates, meaning weather conditions can differ greatly depending on the region and time of year, from humid rainforests to drier coastal areas.

When is the best time of the year to travel to Costa Rica?

The best time to visit depends on your interests. For sunny beach weather on the Pacific coast, December through April is ideal. If you enjoy lush landscapes and blooming flowers, April to July is a great choice. Wildlife enthusiasts may prefer July to November, when you can see sea turtles nesting on the Atlantic coast and go whale watching on the Pacific side.

Where can I exchange money?

The official currency is the Costa Rican Colón, though U.S. dollars are widely accepted. Currency exchange is available at banks, but it can be time-consuming and requires a passport. ATMs are generally the easiest way to withdraw local currency, though fees may apply.

Can I use my credit cards?

Credit cards are widely accepted, especially in tourist areas. It’s important to notify your bank before traveling so your card isn’t blocked for international transactions.

Is it easy to get sunburn, or get dehydrated in Costa Rica?

Yes, the strong tropical sun makes sunburn and dehydration common risks. Use sunscreen (at least SPF 15 or higher) and drink plenty of water to stay protected. Purchase Travel Insurance here: Click Here

Are there many mosquitoes in Costa Rica? Should I bring bug spray?

Mosquitoes are present year-round, particularly at dawn and dusk and in rainforest or rural areas. Wearing long sleeves and pants during these times can help, and insect repellent is highly recommended. If using both sunscreen and repellent, apply sunscreen first.

What do Costa Ricans wear?

Costa Rica has a relaxed dress style. Locals typically wear casual clothing like shorts, T-shirts, sundresses, and sandals. For nicer dinners, slightly dressier but still casual outfits are appropriate.

Will we need electrical adapters for our electronics?

Costa Rica uses 110/220V electricity at 60Hz, similar to the United States. Most outlets accept two-prong flat plugs. Travelers with different plug types or voltage requirements may need an adapter or converter.

Can I get around Costa Rica without knowing Spanish?

Yes, especially in tourist areas where many people speak English. However, in smaller towns or less touristy, English may be limited, so learning basic Spanish or using a translation app can be helpful.

Where can I see a volcano in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is home to several volcanoes, including Arenal Volcano, Irazú Volcano, and Poás Volcano. These are among the most popular and accessible for visitors, with some still showing volcanic activity.

Our Happy Clients

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

- Stefan and Molly

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

- Richard Leake

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 Paris tour was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Pedro, was spectacular. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He treated us like family. The tour was a happy balance between guided sightseeing tours and free time. We had so much fun that we can't wait to see what other tours Evolution35 offer.

- Kenneth S Davis

Our Happy Clients

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 made our dream vacation come true! Great package price inclusive of airfare, 5

was planned ahead for me under one affordable price. We had a blast and are looking
forward to booking again with evolution35! Evolution35 is the way to vacation!!!!!!

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
